Since you’ve all already signed up for Lobby Days, it’s worth noting that Pete Wentz will be marching along the weekend of February 24th. MTV News recently discussed the story, describing Fall Out Boy’s involvement with the Uganda Lobby Days, as well as their consistent support of IC. Here’s a clip from the article:

The event, called “Uganda Lobby Day,” is sponsored by Invisible Children, the not-for-profit organization aimed at raising awareness of the plight of children displaced by the bloody war in the Central African nation. Wentz will be part of a group that is scheduled to meet with members of Congress, to urge them to declare open support for the ongoing Ugandan peace talks, and to appropriate funds for the displaced.

“All of the volunteers — including Pete — will break up into smaller groups, and go talk to their respective senators and representatives. For example, Pete is from Illinois and lives in California, so he could talk to Senators Obama or [Barbara] Boxer,” Invisible Children spokesman Kenny Laubbacher told MTV News. “The goal is to meet with them and say, ‘We know about the situation in Uganda and we want you, as our representative, to do something about it.’ “

February 24th. Washington D.C. See you there.
